About each permit
Savannah Business Location Approval
Savannah is the county seat and the largest of Chatham County's eight incorporated municipalities, and it runs its own Business Location Approval process in addition to (inside Savannah, in place of) the county's Occupational Tax Certificate — confirmed from the city's own page. This record covers only the county/city stacking relationship; it does not restate Savannah's own business-licensing detail in full, which belongs in a dedicated Savannah city-level spec rather than being duplicated inside the county file. The specific dollar fee was not independently re-priced during this research pass, so no amount is published here; a business should confirm the current figure with the city directly.
